Ownership
Since 2001 the key shareholder has been ENIC International Ltd, an investment company established by the British billionaire Joseph Lewis. Daniel Levy, Lewis's partner at ENIC, is Executive Chairman of the club.

By June 2007 ENIC increased its direct holding to 68% by purchasing all of former chairman Alan Sugar's remaining 14.7% holding.[47] Stelios Haji-Ioannou held a 9.9 per cent stake through Hodram Inc in June 2006, but has since either sold all, or at least 70 per cent, of his holding, as ENIC is now the only shareholder with a 3 percent or more stake. In addition the Annual Report for the year ending June 30 2007 also indicates that ENIC now directly holds convertible redeemable preference shares giving it a combined overall 82% beneficial interest in Tottenham Hotspur plc.

Just put the amount into the computer and bingo...they have the money. They pay the loan back over something daft like 25 years.

Spurs are the biggest joke in the premier league. They just throw money at players in the hope of success, find out those players are incompatible on the pitch, remember that their best players are the ones that have been at the club for years, and then wonder why they are shit and finish way outside the european places. Spurs have a worse reputation for breaking players than Chelsea. I used to despise Tottenham but they have become so laughable it's difficult to hate them. Perhaps I just pity them now.

Spot on.

Agreed but I think that under Ramos we'll see them change. You can;t say the Modric isn't a world class player. If they wanted to they could probably flog him now before he's kicked a ball for them and make a nice little profit.

Modric was world class. He's probably already broken.

Hope so.

I just want us to sign someone, if they're actually half decent even better. The bloody Jo saga has been dragging on so long that even when he does sign it'll be a [SIZE="1"]whoop[/SIZE] rather than a [SIZE="6"]whoop.[/SIZE]
